    Finished;

    • Slewfoot
    • Close as neighbors

    Slewfoot startes really good, the built up to the end story was immensely well done but personally felt that the ending could’ve been better. Felt a bit rushed unfortunately. Still was a solid read though. I’m hoping to find similar books but better ending.

    Close as neighbors was a surprising read for what it was, the story was cliche but the characters were fun to read. I will leave it at that, Google it if you want to know more hah.

    Currently reading;

    • Eleanor is completely fine
    • 1984

    I picked up Eleanor is completely fine after a long while again and just kinda pushed myself through it. I started to genuinely like both main characters and within 3 days managed to get around 88% of the book. Will finish it hopefully this weekend.

    Started a bit of 1984 and it’s interesting. I’m not very far into it but it really peaks my interest. The setting makes me sad though and sometimes wondering whether we in reality go slowly but steady into that direction.

      It’s generally “pique my interest”, though interest can be peaked too. Don’t want to nitpick but not everyone has English as their native language, and that’s how you learn. :-)

      When I read 1984 I was surprised to see how many of those things are actually happening today. Would love to hear what you think about it when you have finished the book.
